The True Reality of Life on Earth

Kingdom vs. Religion... Many people wonder why Jesus came to earth. These people don’t yet know Him. Many others think they know exactly why He came; these would be the religious people who go to a building they call a “church.” The majority of those who build a building and label it “church,” do it to marry the living, bury the dead, and preach to the head; even sprinkle kids and baptize adults in water. But their main focus is trying to get people saved to go to heaven—that’s religion.

The Christ (which means Anointed King) came to give His people authority and power to bring heaven to earth, destroy the works of the Devil, and reign on earth (as it is in heaven) by Him, through Him, and for Him. That’s a Kingdom!

Want to know why Jesus came to earth? The answer is NOT found in man’s opinion. It is found in Jesus’ own words: "When it was day, He departed and went into a remote place. And searching for Him, the people came to Him and tried to prevent Him from leaving them. But He said to them, ‘I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also, for this is why I was sent.’” (Luke 4:42-43)

Now that we know why Jesus came, do you want to know what He preached? We know He never preached about himself (John 12:49). He never preached the gospel of the Christ, the gospel of the blood, the gospel of being born again or baptism, no not even the gospel of the resurrection—religion does that.

Jesus didn’t even preach about being the door into heaven (John 14:6). Please hear me out: He did speak about those things mentioned above, but He NEVER made them the focus and reason for His coming! He spent 3.5 years in close quarters with 11 men and 1 traitor, teaching them about ONE thing: the Kingdom! "Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." (Luke 12:32)

The Kingdom of God was His focus and the ONLY message He preached.

Jesus went throughout all Galilee teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all sorts of diseases among the people. His fame spread throughout all Syria. People brought to Him all who were sick, those who were tormented with pain, possessed by demons, suffering seizures, and those who were paralyzed, and He healed them. (Matthew 4:23-24)

For many millennia, religion has made His coming about ALL KINDS of things. Even the religion of His own people missed His coming, why He came, and what He accomplished in just three words: "It is finished." Here’s the simplicity of it all: Jesus came to give us back what Adam and Eve lost—dominion on earth! That's why Jesus preached the “gospel of the Kingdom.”

Let’s call it “Jesus math.” And His math always has a solution! The equation looks like this: Jesus came to preach the Kingdom and back it up with the power of a King by providing proof of His Kingdom (Matthew 4:23-25). He needed a body to get some blood, in order to shed it and cleanse our vessels. He died so that He could, in spiritual form, go to hell, take the keys of dominion back from Satan, be raised from the dead to prove His message was and is TRUE, and make a way for the Governor of the Kingdom of God to live in all who would believe (Holy Spirit), and give back the keys to the Kingdom to ALL those who were redeemed = the “Gospel of the Kingdom.” — That’s THE GOOD NEWS!

Finally, if you want proof of all of this being true, then take a look at Christianity (the religion) and look at what it has done over the centuries. Religion makes members, Kingdom makes citizens. Religion puts people in bondage with rules and regulations, Kingdom sets people free. Religion makes denominations, and the fruit of that is "di-vision." Kingdom makes “Common-unity” with singular vision, and Kingdom community has ONLY been seen in the book of Acts. Religion has NEVER produced Kingdom community!

Just go read about the rich young ruler in the Bible. Religion says, “I’ve done everything right for God,” but the religious aren’t willing to give up everything to gain the Kingdom of God. (Matthew 13: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like...”)

The gospel of the Kingdom is the one thing Jesus preached. He taught about ALL that is in it. And when you do that, people will find the door! "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Jesus is the DOOR into the Kingdom.

What good news have you been sharing?

Did you know that when the gospel of the Kingdom is preached, it opens the door for Jesus’ coming? "Because iniquity will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." (Matthew 24:12-14)

God will confirm NO OTHER MESSAGE... ONLY the gospel of the Kingdom will bring the signs and wonders you may have been seeking. Those miraculous signs of life: healing, casting out demons, and raising the dead, only come by ONE message… His Gospel of the Kingdom!

Wherever the Lord has planted you, people will hear and be convicted of the truth found in the Gospel of the Kingdom, and people will also see confirming truths of His Kingdom Gospel! With that ONE message, some will actually become disciples of Christ. At that point, the TRUE Ekklesia (the Church) will rise, and God alone will create the manifestation of the fruit found in the Acts church!

Be encouraged, Beloved! Just keep the right focus. Because with the right alignment, you can become your assignment! Think of how Moses saw himself, yet God did mighty works through him.

But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)

Religion focuses on getting people into heaven… Kingdom focuses on bringing Heaven HERE! (Matthew 6:10)

Religion focuses on man-made rules and regulations… The King and His Kingdom give you purpose and vision.

Religion keeps people in bondage and chasing after things… His Kingdom has everything in it; seek His Kingdom and righteousness first, and things you need will be given to you. (Matthew 6:33)

The Kingdom is the catalyst to affect the whole world, not just one church or denomination! (Matthew 16:18)
